The judge said that the US Constitution did not immunize Trump from the lawsuit, and prosecutors could pursue claims alleging breach of fiduciary duty, improper self-dealing, and misuse of assets belonging to the Donald J. Trump Foundation.

The agreement with the New York attorney general comes amid an ongoing lawsuit against the charity and Trump and his three eldest children, who allegedly allowed “persistently illegal conduct” at the foundation.

Eric Trump has repeatedly overstated the foundation's size. In 2015, he said his group was "one of the largest foundations anywhere in the country, anywhere in the world", but the foundation is a small- to medium-sized charity. (Source: Associated Press) The foundation's site boasts of $30 million pledged for St. Jude, but that figure includes future donations to the hospital, not donations to date. The same AP article indicates that the foundation has raised $7.3 million. A New York Times article states that the charity raises, "about $5 million a year." St. Jude Children's Research Hospital confirmed in January 2017 that Eric Trump had donated $16.3 million over the past decade.
